I’ll say it. It Zucks.

I feel your pain. Welcome to Lemmy.

Money + downtime + not very smart?

Mine is that we should let people humanely end their lives whenever they choose to, no questions asked. I don’t understand this need to keep everyone alive who doesn’t want to be. Life is fucking hard as it is to have depression, and on top of that, be forced to deal with all of this every day in misery.

I already went through depression and it was awful, but now that I don’t have it, I don’t really find life any more appealing than before. I still often wonder, do I really want to live through this shit for the next 40 fucking years?

Yes, I found that they used a technique called Gourard shading that uses smooth normals under the hood.

They didn’t have to with a smooth normals shader. It’s basically free on the GPU. You can even try this on Blender, and any particularly blocky model will look unusually smooth at certain angles.

I’m not a fan of how the post titles compete with the neon bars for my attention, but otherwise it looks nice.

The best rule, the greatest rule the world has ever seen! There’s always a tweet.

Only the left one because he’s part of the US government. The right one can fuck right off.

It’s as good as college

No, it’s not. I’ve heard this line from a few conspiracy and woo groups like flat-Earthers and Pleiadians. I’m not saying you are one of those folks, but those are the people who are most vocal about the idea. They believe that just because the information is presented, they’ll become the experts for passively consuming it. But since they’ve never been to school beyond high school, they’re missing the entire school context, the study culture, the discipline, the challenges to prove your knowledge, the hands-on experience, the contents of the lectures from the point of view of top professionals, and the guidance that a university offers.

There may be a few prodigies out there who really learn the material on their own, and that’s amazing. But for the typical person, the effort and perseverance required is so demanding that they won’t realistically stick with it before it becomes incredibly overwhelming and tedious, especially while on a platform known for its distractions.

Radiolab did a great episode on it recently called “Brain Balls”

Welp, I guess I’m all out of money for new tech. Time to travel or find a new hobby.

I’d be surprised if it didn’t happen at this point.

I’ve done that, check check and check. Unfortunately, the people I wanted to date did not and were more ugly on the inside that I could’ve imagined.

I used to do that at my previous job and used to chuck it up to being good for the business if the boss asked, but in reality, I just liked seeing the street clean while getting paid for it.

It could be better but it often feels out of my control. 6/10

Whatever, keep your ant-smelling superpower, I’m not jealous. At least cilantro doesn’t taste like soap to me! :P

Yes, we are, but people hate hearing that by the looks of your downvotes. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think I could trust a brain surgeon who can’t save to pdf in this day and age.
